Countdown to Cotton Row 10K - Tapering with One Week to Go

Seven days until Cotton Row 10K with my co-worker SH.  Today was certainly a hot one - I'm sure it was near 90 this afternoon. SH and I did our best to brave the heat and humidity. 

Since we had a week before our 10K, SH and I decided to make this our tapering week.  This afternoon's run/jog was a little shorter than our usual runs/jogs.  Also, we didn't hit the steep hills either - this afternoon we stayed on a course with more gradual, lower inclines.  No reason to push ourselves with one week away - we've spent the last 3-4 weeks with more intense runs/jogs.  If our bodies aren't ready by now, two or three intense training runs this week won't help - such may even do more harm than good.
